TO   THE   TEACHERS   OF   THE   CHILDREN 


u 


It  is  of  the  utmost  importance  that  the  earliest  steps  in  reading 
should  be  taken  in  the  right  direction.  The  habit  of  throwing 
expression  into  the  sentences  from  the  very  first  is  invaluable ;  and 
this  is  impossible  where  the  vocabulary  is  large.  With  this  fact  in 
mind,  the  lessons  have  been  made  as  simple  as  possible ;  the  average 
number  of  new  words  being  about  two  and  one-quarter  to  each  page. 

"  To  let  the  new  life  in,  we  know 
Desire  must  ope  the  portal." 

The  subjects  of  the  lessons  have  been  chosen  with  an  especial 
view  to  interesting  the  little  ones  so  that  their  expression  will  come 
naturally  and  spontaneously. 

The  wise  teacher  will  w^ave  an  interest  about  the  earliest  lessons, 
filling  them  with  thought  and  meaning  of  which  the  printed  text  shall 
be  but  a  suggestion.  A  question  here  and  there,  a  drawing  out  of  the 
memory  and  imagination,  will  fill  the  pupil  with  a  real  interest  ii^ 
what  he  is  reading;  and  the  eager  child  nature  will  exult  in  the 
knowledge  he  has  acquired,  and  pressing  forward  to  what  lies  beyond 
will  throw  life  and  meaning  into  the  simplest  sentences.
